I have been on Lithium since March and have noticed in the past few weeks I have on two occassions developed severe body twitching. Once the evening before a lithium blood test which revealed I was on the lower end of the therapeutic scale. Today after exercise I noticed that if I held my arms in particular postions my arms and shoulders would begin to shudder uncontrollably.
Has anyone had experience of this? And do you know what causes it. I would have thought toxicity if it wasn't for my normal reading. I am a little reluctant to go to my Psych with this as he may take me off/reduce the lithium, I would rather learn to live with or manage this anomaly.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Many thanks
Wraith
